Purchased Verizon unlimited data plan

Check out "Sky Roam" golbal data Wi-Fi hotspot
It might be a better option
Supposedly works anywhere you can get a cell signal
$8 per day unlimited data use
Use it for a weekend, or use it everyday
It's pre pay buy as little or as much as you want

No I don't have one, I just saw one on sale the other day at Frys electronics

They also have them on Amazon

They recently lowered prices for data plans. Have you looked into that? $300/mo is really steep.. unless you're using 100G.

We've had the worst time with verizon overage charges. We work from "home" but our bill has steadily increased every month. We are up to $300+ but have a feeling it's going to go up this month. Texting "yes" to increasing data is the worst.

We just switched as well and upgraded the DW's phone to an S7 Edge and about $10 less a month than making no changes. The phone only is costing $20 on their installment purchase plan zero up front. Plus 4 more gigs I'm happy ATM.

According to Verizon is NOT 3G. Here is their description of Safety Mode.

While in Safety Mode, you'll have reduced speeds of 128 Kbps. Video and audio streaming may be impacted while in Safety Mode.

CORRECT and you don't have to have the XXL plan to get the 2GB/line bonus data, the safety mode option, carryover data, or ability to change plans back and forth (there is a number limit of doing this per month). I have all this with my XL plan since it first came out and have experienced once the safety mode operation. As Bill has indicated it is NOT 3G and TRUST ME it's slower than a snail and is virtually useless.

All of the current Verizon plans have the same "unlimited" data. After you reach your data limit, you are then throttled back but you do not pay any extra.

If you are on AT&T consider Cricket, it's MVNO alternative they purchased. The unlimited plan is really unlimited and the throttling is done on the front end by giving you 8mbs which is plenty even for services like Vue or Sling. Can't beat their prices, especially if you get a few lines on there.

Works in Canada as well assuming you have the $50 or above option (-5 with auto pay)

Telcos are constantly updating equipment and services

And how this is related to the OP internet data question ?

If he signs up for New data service, with any Telco, he will get the new device that is availabl, to work with the new equipment

Just my thoughts~~~we have a brand new Verizon 4G tower not 500' from our home.
The problem is that no phone other than the newer 4G can access it.
And Verizon is installing newer equipment and software all over the country.
In my area if you don't have a 4G phone you cannot access the newer tower. And it's my understanding that all companies are in the process of doing the same thing. They are forcing you to upgrade your phone service to stay connected.
I first ran into this about a year ago when my wife would not connect to call me from SE AZ when her sisters has no problem. There phones were 4G as was the newer tower there and at the time my wife's phone was only an older 3G.
You might think you have phone service where you really have nothing.

the Verizon plan also has the roll over data for the 24 Gig.
